Patch Notes - June 29, 2026 (Launcher Update & Map Fix) - Admin - 06-29-2026
Hello New Hope Community,
We have deployed a new patch today focusing on client fixes, map rendering improvements, and launcher usability.
1. Client Map Rendering Fix
* Trammel Map Restored: Resolved the issue where Trammel (map1) terrain was displaying as black squares with the text "UNUSED" on certain client configurations.
* ClassicUO Startup Crash Resolved: Fixed a critical index collision issue in the patched map file that caused the ClassicUO client to crash on startup with a System.ArgumentException (duplicate key error).
2. New Hope Launcher Update (v1.1)
* Auto-Update System Integrated: Implemented a self-updater in the launcher. The launcher will now automatically check for updates on startup, download the new launcher executable if available, and replace itself seamlessly.
* Pre-Packaged Connector Updated: The download link for 1. New Hope Launcher (Connector) on the website has been updated to the new v1.1 launcher package.
How to Apply the Patch:
* Launcher Auto-Patch: If you already have the new v1.1 launcher, simply open it and it will automatically download the correct map file and patch your client.
* Manual Connector Update: If your launcher does not start or is the old version, please re-download the 1. New Hope Launcher (Connector) from the website homepage (http://www.newhopeuo.com) and copy NewHope_Launcher.exe over your old file.
See you in game!
